[QUOTE="mac57, post: 308896, member: 17052"] On item 3, here is a single data point - my start up times. My PowerMac G5 goes for me pushing the power on switch to a fully functioning Mac OS X desktop in about 35 seconds. It is one of the fastest booting OS' I have seen. On item 4, I would encourage you to also check out NeoOffice, the Mac'ified version of OpenOffice. It is very good and very free! It has excellent equivalents for Word, Excel and Powerpoint. On item 9, you use the same graphics file formats on a Mac that you use on Windows (and Linux and Solaris and just about everthing else!). Everything is fully supported: jpg, gif, png, tiff, bmp, etc. Take the plunge. Mac OS X is head and shoulders above Windows XP, and the honest truth is that most reviews I have read to date on Windows Vista say that it is at best a hollow echo of Mac OS X, and at worst... well, much worse.
